TIGHITCO receives Long-Term Agreement (LTA) from Sikorsky for UH-60M Black Hawk program

TIGHITCO, a leading provider of advanced composite structures and assemblies, thermal insulation solutions, and precision aerospace components, is proud to announce it received a Long-Term Agreement (LTA) supporting the UH-60M Black Hawk Program for Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, on behalf of the U.S. Department of War.

This follow-on LTA, with a Period of Performance through 2032, represents a continuation of the long-standing partnership between TIGHITCO and Sikorsky, marking 28 years of continuous collaboration on the Black Hawk platform, and will support Black Hawk production beyond the current Multi Year X contract. In addition to the UH-60, TIGHITCO also supports a variety of Sikorsky aircraft including the S-70 Black Hawk, HH-60, MH-60, CH-53E and the CH-53K King Stallion, providing a range of composite assemblies, access panels, hatches, and structural components across multiple mission profiles.

Under this agreement, TIGHITCO will supply complex composite details and assemblies, leveraging its proven expertise, manufacturing capability, and commitment to supporting mission-critical rotorcraft platforms. The work will be performed in Berlin, Conn.

“This LTA reinforces the strength and continuity of our relationship with Sikorsky,” said Mark Withrow, Chief Executive Officer of TIGHITCO. “For nearly three decades, we’ve supported the Black Hawk with precision-built composite structures, and we are honored to continue our contribution to this vital program.”

“Our team takes tremendous pride in supporting the men and women who depend on the UH-60 every day,” added Shawn Hawks, Vice President of Complex Composites. “This new LTA reflects Sikorsky’s trust in our performance, quality, and ability to deliver complex composite components for mission-ready aircraft.”
